I invite you to take part in our unique event "Georgian Ethnos". In just half a day, through the prism of folk dances, polyphony and feasts, you will see and learn about Georgia as much as an independent traveler would not have learned in a few days or even weeks. In addition to pleasant memories and atmospheric photographs, returning to your homeland, you will be able to please your loved ones with new skills in Georgian dances, cooking khinkali and khachapuri, and knowledge of wise toasts.
Ethno Museum:
We will begin our acquaintance with the Georgian ethnos with a visit to the only contact museum of weapons in Tbilisi, where the director of the museum, a well-known ethno-guide and historian, will show his own collection of artifacts found at different times on the territory of Georgia. Also, from the lips of a connoisseur of antiquity, you will learn about little-known historical facts of the Middle Ages.
Dressed in Georgian folk costumes, you can take part in a photo session.

What To Expect
Georgian folk dances and martial arts: After a leisurely walk, we will go to an institution where Georgian martial arts and folk dances are taught. Accompanied by a professional choreographer, you will take part in a master class on teaching one or two folk dances, and experienced dancers of the ensemble will show two incendiary dance numbers. Next, you will have a unique opportunity to witness the performance of a folk song to Georgian musical instruments, which are masterpieces of the oral intangible heritage (I am sure you will want to sing along). The highlight of this event will be an exciting demonstration of Georgian martial arts performed by professionals. The world famous Georgian feast - Supra: Following the dances, we will visit a Tbilisi family and take part in a master class on cooking Georgian dishes. In the same house you will find a generous Georgian feast with a variety of snacks and hot dishes, as well as homemade wine and chacha. During the meal, you will be taught the rules of the Georgian feast at ease, they will tell you about the sequences of toasts and how to drink from a horn.

5.00The best thing that could happen to me in Tbilisi is the excursion "Georgian ethnos". It all started with a walk around the city, then an interactive lecture and a photo session in the museum of traditional Georgian costumes. Then we got to the center of Georgian folk dances, where we were taught in an hour and a half, and it was not just some kind of master class, but a specific training in Georgian dances. Now I know how to make the right movements, and not just wave my hands😊 The third location of this event was a Georgian-style party. We found ourselves in an unusually warm atmosphere, visiting a Georgian family, where they were already waiting for us and arranged a generous Georgian feast for us. I have not experienced such emotions for a very long time. We sang, we drank, we danced. We were taught how to make toasts, how to drink wine from a horn, and we were also taught how to properly prepare Georgian khinkali. Thank you so much for the experience you bring to your guests. If you want to start your acquaintance with Georgia in the right way, be sure to go to this event.
